I don't know but the hospital maybe able to provide you with some Emla cream which does numb the area. I actually bought some from the chemist but it needs to be put on about 30 minutes before. I don't know if they can do this for an Epidural but it might help. I would also speak to your midwife to see if a c-section is really necessary.
I have a pre-existing back injury and they cannot give me an epidural but my consultant wants me to see the aneathatist (I cannot spell that word!) and to be knocked out for a c section if I cannot have a normal delivery. That horrifies me too. I think the only way I have dealt with it is to try not to worry about what I cannot control and I also think a year from now I will have a beautiful baby. Also, you hear of some people having horrendous labours but at the end they'd do it all again to see their baby.
Just look after yourself. I am sure you will be fine.
you should talk with your midwife hun if it is making you so worried, they might reassure you.
good luck hun xxx
